Best slang


The best (and worst?) part of being a teaching assistant is that we get to read over all your assignments, which can be fun when the assignment is reading over lists of slang words fresh from the creative minds of the UGA undergraduate population.

So Heather and Rich and I put our heads together to identify the most popular and most interesting (the COOLEST, if you will) terms from all of your freelisting:

Awesome
Rickt
Cool beans
Davy
The bees knees (Surprisingly popular!)
Ballin'
Ain't no thang but a chicken wang
Sweet
Nice
Dank
Fire
Fye
Fire as *uck (Am I allowed to drop the F-Bomb on the blog?)
Epic
The *hit

What I found most interesting was the question wherein you lot were all asked about guy slang and girl slang. For example, most guys thought Ballin' was a strictly masculine term, but most girls had no such reservations about throwing it around, and nearly everyone said that Bitchin' was primarily used by his or her own gender. So think on that!
